A
member of Henry Ward Beecher’s Plymouth Church, Raymond held
degrees from the Brookfield Polytechnic Institute (1857),
Lafayette College (PhD 1868), Leigh University (LLD 1906), and
the University of Pittsburgh (honorary LLD. 1915).
He served
as the United States Commissioner of Mining Statistics, and was
secretary of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgy,
and Petroleum Engineers (1884-1911). In 1945, the institute named
its Rossiter W. Raymond Memorial Award after him, to recognize
the best paper published by a member under 33 years of age. Rossiter
lived in Brooklyn, New York, at least part of his life, and wrote at
least one Western novel:
Brave Hearts, 1873.
Probably his most famous quote:
Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

in the giving, so we do not lose them by ...(Read more)
